Vulcan is a hot, arid planet with higher
gravity and a thinner atmosphere than Earth standard. Its humanoid inhabitants
are the offspring of a passionate and violent race, whose devatating wars
led them to accept the logical and pacifistic teachings of Surak, also
known as the Farther of Vulcan.(Those who
rejected Surak's peaceful philosophy migrated to a new system, and are
known as Romulans.)

Today, Vulcans eschew emotion in favor
of logic, and public displays of emotion, wheter positive or negative are
frowned upon. We therefore ask visitors to respect local customes by restricting
all such displays to private areas. The majority of the planet consists
of rugged desert terrain populated by deadly nocturnal preditors. Tourists
are urged to avoid the deserts altogether and restrict their journeys to
populas cities. there have been instances of desert casualties both during
the cold moonless night and during the day, from the searing heat.

directed to the Tourist Quarter in the capital city of ShariKahr.
FOOD: Bland vegetarian cuisine in all
establishments run by vulcans, but a
Ferengi-controlled black market for meat exists.
